Pakistan vs Australia 2nd Test Preview

 


Tomorrow the 2nd test between Pakistan and Australia will begin at the National Stadium Karachi. Pakistan and Australia have both prepared and are ready.

Australia have even revealed their starting eleven and Swepson will debut for Australia tomorrow. A leg spinner will play for Australia after a very long time and it will be interesting to see what the spin twin combo of Lyon and Swepson bring to the playing field on a Karachi pitch that is expected to offer more assistance for the spinners.

Pakistan is also expected to make two changes to their starting eleven from the previous game. Hasan Ali and Faheem Ashraf are expected to come in place of Naseem Shah and Iftikar Ahmed. I would like to see Pakistan be a bit more attacking and play a leg spinner in Zahid Mahmood. Especially if a spin-friendly wicket is being prepared then Pakistan should play 3 spinners and go for the kill. I don't think they should play Faheem in this game.

Pakistan Predicted XI: 1 Imam-ul-Haq 2 Abdulla Shafiq 3 Azhar Ali 4 Babar Azam (c) 5 Fawad Alam 6 Mohammed Rizwan (wk) 7 Nauman Ali 8 Hasan Ali 9 Sajid Khan 10 Zahid Mahmood 11 Shaheen Shah Afridi

SA20 review

 The SA20 season 2 has ended with Sunrisers Eastern Cape successfully defending their title to win back-to-back titles. The Sunrisers were the team to beat as they played an excellent brand of cricket and dominated throughout the tournament winning 7 matches and losing 2 with 1 no result to top the table in the league stage.  The final of SA20 season 2 was played by the 2 best teams of the tournament the Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Durban Super Giants. Sunrisers proved too good for Super Giants beating them by 89 runs to not only successfully defend their SA20 title but also win the head-to-head between the 2 teams 3-1.  SA20 season 2 saw some unbelievable performances with quite a few young South African players taking the opportunity and shining.

Australia vs Pakistan 3rd test Day 1 review

  The third test match between Australia and Pakistan kicked off today at the SCG Sydney. Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first. However, their decision did not go well as the Australian bowlers dominated the Pakistani batsmen from the very beginning. Pakistan lost their openers, Abdulla Shafiq and Saim Ayub early in the innings and were struggling to recover from there. Babar Azam and Shan Masood tried to stabilize the innings, but the Australian bowlers kept on taking wickets at regular intervals. Mohammed Rizwan, Agha Salaman and Aamer Jamal played some excellent innings in the lower middle order to rescue Pakistan  At the end of the day, Pakistan were bowled out for 313 runs. Pat Cummins was the pick of the bowlers for Australia, taking 5 wickets for 61 runs.  Josh Hazlewood took 2 wickets, while Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Marsh took 1 wicket each. Australia are 6-0 at stumps trailing by 307 runs  Australia will be happy with th...
